Churchill Crocodile Flamethrower

Imagine encountering a fire-breathing monster on the battlefield laying waste everything in its path. Undoubtedly, the Churchill Crocodile flamethrower was one of the most devastating and awe-inspiring weapons of World War II. Here, David Fletcher chronicles the development of the flamethrower tank; telling the incredible story of their use on the battlefields, from Iwo Jima to D-Day, as well as their post-war roles in burning down Belsen and in the Korean War. This title details the colourful variants of the Crocodile, including the ubiquitous Wasp, which alongside the Crocodile created one of the most incredible flamethrower attacks in history at the River Senio, Italy. Dramatically illustrated with detailed artwork and contemporary photographs, the true terror of these tanks is brought to life.
